♥ LOVE, APPRECIATION & THANKS to THE ANIMALS ♥ 

♫ I am a devoted fan & this is my tribute to THE ANIMALS (1963-1966), one of the GREATEST British R&B bands of the 1960s. 

The original line-up:
Eric Burdon - vocals, Alan Price - keyboards, Hilton Valentine - guitar, Chas Chandler - bass, John Steel - drums

Later personnel: 
Mickey Gallagher - keyboards (temporary replacement), Dave Rowberry - keyboards, Barry Jenkins - drums
